Our in-house bio-medical engineers make the necessary replacements and calibrate the unit back to the original engineering manufacturer specifications. Once the unit is in its prime shape, it undergoes special cosmetic restoration where it is sanded and repainted. If the patient monitor needs new decals, we replace those as well, making the unit look as it did when it left the original manufacturer. Soma offers the IntelliVue MX450 up to 50% below OEM prices with the same service and warranty as new.
